Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that since the prosecuting agency is not taking any interest in the trial, even the charges could not be framed by the learned trial court against the accused-respondents so far, despite expiry of a period of more than two and a half years. He further submits that the petitioner will be satisfied if the learned trial court is directed to expedite the trial.
